Raw Coconut Curry with Cauliflower Rice
Dinner tonight was fantastic! If I may say so myself, which I suppose I just did. Although I wasn't the only one to say so which I guess makes it slightly more credible. Anyway feel free to try it out and let me know what you think - I'd love to hear!
It's pretty straightforward which is something that's important to me - I'd thought I'd be really organised but then decided it was too nice a day to be organised so went for a walk for an hour instead. So it was all rustled up fresh just before dinner - and so tasty for it.
The cauliflower 'rice' is another clever thing I've found since going raw. Pop the cauliflower into the processor and let it work the magic for you. Allow it to crumble down to rice like consistency and you're done. I used one large head of cauliflower between two of us.
Coconut Curry Sauce ingredients (enough for two) were:
Water from two coconuts
Flesh from 1/2 coconut (after you've drained the water, put it in the freezer and it will break apart easier with a hammer)
1/2 - 1 cup non dairy milk (I used oat milk)
3 dates
Small piece of jalenpeno pepper (adapt as per taste)
1 teaspoon tandoori spice mix (I used a spice mix I'd brought back from Zanzibar but I'm sure any mix would create some delicious flavours)
Blend well in the blender (the coconut flesh can take a while so be patient).
I chopped the veg and poured the sauce over the top, then scattered sultanas and chopped coriander over it. You could use whatever veg you like - my choice tonight was brocolli, spring onion, celery, cherry tomatoes, yellow and red peppers and mushrooms.
I also made up a mango salsa
1 mango
2 inches chopped cucumber
4 chopped cherry tomatoes
2 spring onions
1/2 red pepper
And that's it. I think I much preferred it to curries of old - and am feeling very happy I've enough ingredients to make it for dinner again later this week...
